The research by Transparency Market Research (TMR) estimates that the implantable medical devices market would rise to a valuation of US$49.8 bn by 2024 as compared to the figure of US$32.3 bn in 2015. The research also prognosticates that the CAGR over the period from 2016 to 2024 would stand at 4.9%. On on segmentation grounds, the key materials segment has titanium at the forefront of demand currently. However, it is expected to be replaced by other materials such as titanium alloys and zirconium, thus, lowering the demand for titanium. The market for titanium implants is expected to register a CAGR of 4.7% from 2016 to 2024. On the other hand, the market for zirconium implants and titanium alloy implants is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% and 5.5% respectively over the forecast period.

Quest for Fundamental Improvements in Healthcare Facilities to Uptick Demand

The medical fraternity has seen a storm of new trends that have led to the rise in the market for implantable medical devices. The increasing toll of neurodegenerative diseases such as arthritis has made it imperative for medical circles to introduce medical implantation facilities in their framework.

However, recommendation by practitioners and better research initiatives is expected to continue bolstering the market.

The global market for implantable medical devices market is experiencing an increased demand due to rampant technological advancements. The market is highly consolidated as the top four players account for a little over 50% of the market share making it difficult for new players to enter the market. Moreover, the research excellence attained by these established players overpowers the ability of other small and medium sized players to innovate and introduce newer products in the market. Since the market is categorized under the head of technology and research, the government has imposed intractable regulations with regards to licensing, production, and adherence standards which makes it all the more difficult for new players to try their fortunes in the market.
